UTHSC

Windows 2000/XP IP Registration and Revalidation

For Windows 2000/XP the process consists of two steps. Steps 1-11
involve going through a Security Tool which installs the latest version of
McAfee on your system as well as certain Microsoft Windows patches. The
security tool is a mandatory process for machines running Windows 2000 and XP
and is meant to not only protect UTHSC's network, but also your computer. NOTE:
These instructions are based on using Internet Explorer, if you are using a
different browser then the process may differ slightly in some places.

After restarting your computer you will need to complete steps 12-15.
These steps are where the actual registration occurs. When the second set of
steps are complete, your machine will be registered with our campus, and you
will be able to use the resources on our network. If you have any
questions, please call the Helpdesk at 448-2222.

2. Read the warnings and instructions explaining the process. The main
thing to adhere to is to make sure that you don't run the process with antivirus
software other than the McAfee product that is provided by the University of
Tennessee. Doing so may cause damage your system. Click on the link
at the bottom to continue with the process.

4. Once again read the warnings, installing this product without prior
removal of any antivirus software, other than the McAfee that UTHSC provides,
could severely damage your machine.

5. Click on the 'I understand and agree to the above information' to
continue.

6. Click 'Run this program from it current location' or 'Open' in Internet
Explorer, or for any other browser, download the file to your desktop and then
double click the file to run it.

7. If you get a security warning, click 'Yes' to continue.

8. The Security Tool will now begin to run. Please read all the
information and click 'Next' to continue.

9. Read the steps that the Security Tool will complete while running on your
machine. Click 'Continue.'

10. After clicking continue in the previous step, the program will then begin
to execute. This is the portion of the process that will take the longest
amount of time. Depending on the speed of the machine it may take anywhere
from 10 minutes to 1 hour. DO NOT STOP THE PROCESS ONCE IT STARTS OR YOUR
SYSTEM WILL LIKELY BE RENDERED UNUSABLE. After it finishes you will see
the screen below. Click 'Finish.'

11. Click 'OK' and allow the machine to reboot. You are now finished
with the first portion of the process. Once the machine turns back on,
continue with the next step.

14. Fill out the information on the form. You must fill out all the
information to continue. When finished filling out the form, click on the
'Update' button to continue.

15. Click on the Exit button to finish the process. Should you run into
any problems accessing the network after clicking on the Exit button, restart the
computer. Should your problem persist, call the Helpdesk at 448-2222
